TAKES THE DERBY.

A Cheek For a Large Amount of
 Money Received From NTr. Starbuck
 Yesterday.
 Yesterday morning City Treasurer Welch
 was handed check for $275, 900 from MT.
 Starbuck and he will probably keep it until
 the pending injunction against the city to
 restrain it from selling the Derby is settled.
 The certificates of stock which New Haven
 now parts with were in the First National
 bank. Yesterday morning they were handed
 over to Mayor York in his capacity as agent
 of the city and he transferred them to the
 trustees. Charles Atwater, who keeps the
 books of the Derby railroad, duly recorded the transfer. Mir. Starbuck really has got nothing as yet but his receipts, for the city has his check and the trustees have his rail- road stock. But he has the satisfaction of knowing that when he has fulfilled the con- ditions of sale the Derby road will be his, or at least the majority of the stock of the Der l by railroad will be in his possession. He has also got an insight into the ways of deal \ ing with city as railroad stockholder. MT. Starbuck will now begin to fulfill the other | conditions of the contract, during which time | the stock will remain with thetrustees. The | remaining shares will be purchased by Bun ! nell 6 Scranton as the agents of MT. Star | buck at $25 8 share and the first mortgage bonds will be paid for as they mature The | other conditions to be performed are the | stopping of the switching of trains during | the day across the State, Meadow and Water | street grade crossings, the maintenance ot | line of steamboats doing business in eonnec, | tion with the road, the extension of the road | to Hswleyyille within a year and the removal | of the Derby depots to some other location to be decided upon later.

 POsitor.
 The fact that MT. David E. Moseley, who died Sunday, had been a fellow compositor upon this journal with Robert Bonner, of the New York Ledger, was mentioned Monday. The day after the publication of this news in New York 6 Sun reporter met MT. Bonner and the veteran publisher talked over old days in Hartford. The talk is thus reported in the Sun:
 "I knew MT. Moseley for many years. He was journeyman working at the case on the Hartford Courant in 1889, when l entered the office as an apprentice at the age of 15 He was about ten years older than I, and had previously served his time in the same office. The Courant apprentices then got $25 for the first year, together with their board and washing. Each succeeding year $10 was added, until the boy was free, and then we got $S per week. There were about fifteen or eighteen hands on the paper"
 'fI rem member an incident in December, 1S40, which was regarded an unhesrd-of enter prise" continued Mir. Bonner. 'sIn order to get President Van Buren's message two hours before the mail pony express was run from Boston to New Haven, the enterprising edi- tCrs along the line bearing the expense in re- turn for the copy. Mir. Boswell, proprietor of the Courant, contributed $50 as his share of the cost. It was talked of and discussed as wonderful thing then to pay so large sum for so little thing as two hours of time. When we got the copy all the printers we could gather up about town were set to work to get the message in type. Mr. Nose ley and were the two fastest men in the office. In the three hours work we beat all the others half hours time, both setting about ], zoo or 1,800 ems an hour. A friendly dispute arose between us as to who set the most, and on investigation it was found set one line more. He offered me twenty-five cents for beating him, but I remembered was too proud to accept it."
 ''Mr. Moseley," continued MT. Bonner, "was always religious man, and subse- quently wanted me to study for the Congre gational ministry. He offered to pay half of my expenses, but I preferred to work my own way in life. When my time was com pleted I came to New York and was core spondent for the Courant until my own business got so large I had all could do to attend to that, and I resigned. In 1841 or 1842 Mir. Moseley started the Religious Her aid, and has conducted it ever since His son, I believe, will continue to issue the paper.-Courant.
